Are you a health-care professional? Or a member of a community group? I want to speak to your group!
My dynamic presentations involve participants in direct music experiences, with an educational component about the applications of music therapy in health-care and music experiences in day-to-day life.
Here are some topics to choose from:
- Music Therapy for Older Adults: How it Works in Senior Living, Long-Term Care, and Hospice
- Why Does Music Work? What We Know About Music Therapy as an Evidence-Based Practice
- Music Soothes the Soul: How to Choose and Use Music for Relaxation
- Your Voice as the Tool for Better Emotional and Physical Health
- How to Sing, Shake, and Shimmy Your Way Into a Better Life
